Health Canada is warning consumers about unauthorized Japanese-labelled drugs that it seized from T&T Supermarket in North York (Unit 1115, 1800 Sheppard Ave. E,), Ontario. The products are labelled to contain prescription drugs and may pose serious health risks. The company advised Health Canada that these products were only being sold at this location. Selling unauthorized health products in Canada is illegal. Unauthorized health products have not been approved by Health Canada, which means that they have not been assessed for safety, efficacy and quality and may pose a range of serious health risks. For example, they could contain high-risk ingredients, such as prescription drugs, additives or contaminants that may or may not be listed on the label. These ingredients could interact with other medications and foods. In addition, these products may not actually contain the active ingredients that consumers would expect them to contain to help maintain and improve their health. Prescription drugs should be used only under the supervision of a health care professional because they are used to treat specific conditions and may cause serious side effects. Prescription drugs can only be legally sold to consumers in Canada with a prescription.
